Just posted the 20vT harness off to Quantum Perfomance Engineering in the UK for modification this morning.
It will come back ready to go with the Plug n Play kit/ecu, a specially made downpipe for this conversion and throttle for about $2400 landed at my door.
Cant wait!!

Hey-yo.
Me and Joe (mainly joe actually as i was too busy taking pics) at Golfwagen started stripping the damaged parts from the 20vt.
the sump obviously damaged


and the oil filter bracket and cooler too. The threaded union bent and pulled the thread in the mounting



Heres the big crack and bent bolts of the oil pump!!

couple more



Obviously a few parts need to be replaced but i already got a new sump at least.
The rest of the damage was a bit of a surprise but thats what happens when you buy a pretty trashed wreck! I was half expecting some more probs so i'm not too bummed... yet.
So basically i need to order a new oil filter/cooler bracket with the threaded union, an oil return pipe from the sump to the turbo, a gasket or two and the other bits were in stock 2nd hand at Golfwagen. Oh also need to repair the 120v alternator.
Stay tuned...
